Haven't posted any wraps in awhile, but finished this one last night, and I gotta say...I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out. Something new.....for me anyways Red tiger Eye wrapped in 18 gauge bare copper, and 30 gauge sterling silver for the weaves, 21 gauge sterling 1/2 round for the bail bind  Thanks for looking!!

Very Nice Marie!
I am still liking the way you finish your cabs in that beveled style. Is the top slightly domed or completly flat?

Thanks everyone!! This was a lotta fun to try...I like the new weave, and I have wanted to make something that will completely show the stones off, and I have finally figured it out!!
Thanks again!!

That is a great piece Marie. You did a wonderful job framing that stone with the wire. Good choice of color too, that copper really sets off the red in the stone.
